This University of Gloucestershire degree underpins practice with a sound appreciation of academic research evidence and understanding of the forensic psychologist’s role in investigative and legal processes, as well as the assessment and treatment of offenders. The programme has a distinctive and strong applied focus and centres around core areas of expertise. One particular focus is on issues surrounding the commission, detection and prosecution of sexual offences, and the management of offenders.
Another focus is on how the forensic practitioner obtains the best information and evidence via investigative interviewing, the detection of deception, and special procedures to assist vulnerable witnesses. As students develop their understanding, they’ll learn how to engage in the reflective practice that’s essential to maintaining professional competence and integrity. Students will explore the ethical, legal, professional and personal dilemmas that can arise in professional practice within forensic settings.
In line with Gloucestershire's applied focus, assignments are designed to model aspects of a professional forensic psychologist’s workload. The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), covering the core areas demanded of Stage 1 registration.
